My Total Shoprite Trip: Saved Almost $200 but Paid Only $4

If you remember I posted about Shoprite Spend $50 in Gas, Get $10 in free groceries <---- post. Well my shopping trip was a way I like to use that catalinas. I had $60 in catalinas to spend(that's just from the Gas cards) and I choose to use those catalinas on meats and/or produce. Meats/produce cost more & we rarely see coupons for those types of items and using those catalinas to buy those things is another great way to save money on meats/produce.

Because of the wording on the catalina, I broke my trip up into 6 separate transactions. I scored 5lbs of collard greens, 3lbs of broccoli, pt strawberries, 3lbs yellow onions, steak, chicken, spare ribs, hamburger patties, beef hot dogs and many other things and I saved almost $200 and I ONLY PAID $4 buck TOTAL OOP. That's a 98% savings, wow!!!!!!!
